Patients undergoing metabolic surgery have a lower risk of death compared to those who do not undergo surgery.

Metabolic surgery may improve survival rates in patients with severe obesity and a history of myocardial infarction.

Metabolic surgery is associated with a lower risk of new myocardial infarction.

Metabolic surgery may significantly reduce the risk of recurrent myocardial infarction in this patient group.

ω‐3 supplementation prevents immobilization‐induced reductions in mitochondrial content and respiration throughout the immobilization period.

Practitioners may consider recommending ω‐3 supplementation to mitigate muscle atrophy during periods of immobilization.

Prolonged exercise training improves the acute type II muscle fibre satellite cell response following a single bout of resistance exercise in older men.

Older men can benefit from prolonged exercise training to enhance muscle repair and adaptation.

Type I muscle fibre satellite cell content increased significantly at 24 and 48 hours after a single bout of resistance exercise before the exercise training programme.

Resistance exercise can enhance type I muscle fibre satellite cell content in older adults.

Aging and muscle disuse lead to the development of anabolic resistance and contribute to the loss of skeletal muscle mass.

Awareness of anabolic resistance is crucial for designing interventions for older adults or those with muscle disuse.

Skeletal muscle mass is determined by meal- and contraction-induced alterations of muscle protein synthesis and muscle protein breakdown.

Nutrition and exercise strategies should focus on optimizing protein synthesis and minimizing breakdown for muscle maintenance.

Mean adipocyte size decreased from 0.84 microl to 0.64 microl, primarily due to changes in the large adipocyte subfraction.

Monitoring adipocyte size may provide insights into metabolic health improvements following weight loss.

A greater improvement in insulin sensitivity with weight loss during caloric restriction plus exercise may be related to improved coupling of β-oxidation and tricarboxylic acid cycle flux induced by exercise.

Practitioners should consider the role of exercise in enhancing insulin sensitivity during weight loss interventions.

Progressive resistance training for 16 weeks significantly increases total body water by 7.5% in men and 7.6% in women.

Resistance training can effectively enhance hydration levels in both men and women.

Intracellular water increased significantly by 8.2% in men and 11.0% in women after 16 weeks of resistance training.

Resistance training significantly boosts intracellular hydration, beneficial for muscle function.

In psoriasis, 4 of 5 clinical studies demonstrated significant improvements in Psoriasis Area Severity Index and weight/body mass index.

GLP-1 receptor agonists may significantly improve psoriasis severity and contribute to weight loss.

Improvements in muscle quality index (MQI) after 12 weeks of resistance training (RT) are associated with increases in phase angle (PhA).

Practitioners can use phase angle as a valid indicator of muscle quality improvements in older women undergoing resistance training.

Modifiable risk factors for disability and dependency can be targeted to improve public health actions for healthy ageing.

Public health initiatives should focus on identifying and modifying risk factors to promote healthy ageing.

Effective medical interventions can prevent or delay disabling clinical conditions and promote healthy ageing.

Healthcare providers should implement effective interventions to support healthy ageing.

Resistance training led to a significant increase in interleukin-10 by 51.8% and a decrease in tumor necrosis factor alpha by 15.2% in older women.

Resistance training may improve inflammatory markers in older women.

Elevated body mass index and weight gain are associated with increased risk of postmenopausal, hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.

Practitioners should consider BMI and weight gain as significant risk factors for breast cancer in postmenopausal women.

Consumption of fish and marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) lowers systemic vascular resistance and blood pressure.

Incorporating fish or n-3 PUFAs into the diet may help lower blood pressure.

Fish or fish oil intake may improve cardiac diastolic filling and reduce resting heart rate.

Fish or fish oil may be beneficial for improving heart function and reducing heart rate.

Resistance exercise induces satellite cell expansion associated with type I fibres 24 and 48 hours post-exercise.

Resistance exercise is effective for promoting muscle health in older adults.

Resting muscle glycogen levels were elevated on day 3 but not on day 5 compared to day 1.

Monitoring glycogen levels is crucial for understanding recovery in trained athletes.

Central arterial stiffness was reduced after resistance training, regardless of the load lifted during RET.

Resistance training can be beneficial for improving central arterial stiffness, regardless of the weight used.

Total body water increased by 7.8% in men and 7.6% in women after 16 weeks of resistance training.

Resistance training can improve hydration status in young adults.

Bioimpedance resistance decreased by 4.8% in men and 3.8% in women after 16 weeks of resistance training.

Resistance training may enhance cellular function as indicated by decreased bioimpedance resistance.
